MySpace Beats Facebook With Twitter Synch

MySpace began rolling out new functionality today that allows users to sync
their MySpace status updates with a Twitter feed. Any U.S. user
can opt-in so that updates created on MySpace
will appear on Twitter and posts to Twitter appear within their MySpace status & mood.

The system was created using open authentication technology OAuth which allows limited data to be shared between sites while protecting account credentials.

Syncing functionality includes:

Status updates synced from MySpace to Twitter and vice versa

Updates originating from MySpace will be noted as such on Twitter and vice versa

Status syndication can be enabled for one-way or two-way

When updates post to Twitter, readers have a link back to MySpace to make commenting easy
